I should explain to the public that in fact to go you could go over to east berlin just east berlin yes but you had to get back by midnight he wanted to go anywhere else in the deity you had to get special permission so you wrote this very well if i may say emotional song about. 1000000000 thats a young girl from israel in the woods was this someone you were in love with yourself this would happen and you know.

Moving over all of you to make inroads on this thing goes in neon neon ignoramus and hundreds of this kind of going down. The street thats going to depend. On that so can i ask how cool is an ironic song directed at east german leader l h hanukah released in january 1903 it was the west german musicians response to not being allowed to perform in the east. That. Lyndon bags descriptions of the head of state as a big chief stubborn goblin and rocker were condemned by the east German Secret Police pushed out such a high stakes making it illegal for people to play the song. But in october of 1983 lyndon bed was suddenly allowed to go to east berlin at the height of the cold war east germany wanted to appear cooperative it even allowed him to tour it has limits it is slow. And. So was he did it to him in the mail stated that it is. But what the rock musician didnt know was that his every step was surveilled by hundreds of shazia officials. Then there was the performance of the past decade probably. Been back played 4 songs of the rock for peace festival in front of a select crowd of Party Faithful as real fans were left outside where they vented bearing. Linda back didnt mince words not even when it came to. Demands that east germany to some. Implicitly. Inform. Its. Stars the paper about the concert states that vinton bags vulgar language and his decadent appearance were inappropriate for the peace of the permission to perform was deemed a political misjudgment. Lindenberg was too unpredictable for the east german leadership which canceled the plans tour disappointing his east german fans. So. This was a. Model is a new kind of world a very good thing only fair i listened to this innovation as i was going it is unique you have you have your patent your ear is put in tears nobody else is allowed to have this. Is what we call lindy is was you know little live music this animal. Charged for you know that it is as good as you can. Get it. And then women got together then we had the brand you know and then we had a big big you know as a tool before you know the grid study that.

You believe in what dream came true that children born in the war is over here on the next train was more on the move through the wood through community and then on the cover you know with some mystery and over the stars and all that you know there was the energy and super toward it. Was one who is part of this with the best qualities wouldnt go so good muslims in the end so no one else did he would lose and. Its good to him for what was done years through this was do on one day in. Zulu this is overdone goods is a new message on and its going to go to 0 at least in the congo to dimension conflict and wanted to do you think your. Little lindenberg and his fans had spent years waiting for this moment finally in january of 1980 their dream was for phil east germany to tour likes it was the 1st major city on the tour. In june of 2019 little bear was back in lights and once again some of those present remembered his 1st concert there after the berlin wall fell from a ship gets out from boston i have to respond right from the beginning the fashion he played was challenging and i think a lot of people had tears in their eyes at and it was amazing. To think. Well this is. Young because this. Is the. Its a good deal to keep. Thank. Goodness. It was always interested in us in east germany even during the era of the iron curtain that was really nice for me i always thought he was a cool dude with a cool hat and cool classes. Its really emotional unlike grew up here and in the east but somehow it was always a presence in present. Began his most famous song about 6 now in the backs charmingly cheeky appeal to the east german regime to open its borders. Thats why it was the provocative song why as a band i recorded it secretly for my west german Radio Station and i sent it with the volume down i. It was in leipsic but the protests against the east german regime began with the monday demonstrations in the autumn of 1989 is why on the page was a peaceful revolution and suddenly he made his own contribution. For good or lyndon back and his 10000 fans at the leipzig arena it was a truly special evening and just as that his 1st wife to concert more than a few people had their own.
